Florian Alexander Schmidt | The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Why Crowdsourcing Needs Ethics - 0 views

  •  
    "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly By Florian [Schmidt] On October 8, 2013 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Why Crowdsourcing Needs Ethics Abstract This position paper for the workshop CrowdWork 2013 discusses some of the ethical implications of crowdsourcing in general and of contest-based crowd design in particular, especially in regard to the question of fair payment. The paper establishes four different categories of crowdsourcing with separate ethical challenges and argues for the crowd work industry to develop a code of ethics from within, in order to counter the exploitation and abuse that it often enables."

    Filmed Mar 2012 * Posted Mar 2012 * TED2012 "Colin Robertson had 3 minutes on the TED stage to tell the world about his solar-powered crowdsourced health care solution. And then... Colin Robertson is apparently "attempting to make the world's first crowdsourced solar energy solution" Or is he?"

    From http://www.stanford.edu/~efs/693b/TED1.html : From http://www.stanford.edu/~efs/693b/TED1.html : " 1. length: 3:50 2. overall speed (WPM): very slow due to interruptions; you'll see 3. vocabulary profile: mostly frequent words--no transcript available (*) 4. accent: US standard 5. comments: discusses "crowdsourcing": outsourcing tasks to a large group of people, such as customers or volunteers 6. Colin Robertson had 3 minutes on the TED stage to tell the world about his solar-powered crowdsourced health care solution. And then..." (*) Actually, this TED page has an English subtitle-generated transcript (as well as translated transcripts in the 47 other languages the video is subtitled in). And the transcript in http://amara.org/en/videos/h60BL6bU49WF/en/2426/ page where the English subtitles were made shows an average 90 wpm in the passages where Collins actually speaks. This remains rather slow indeed, however non natives may find it difficult to grasp the written texts that appear very briefly on-screen, and hence Collins' allusions to these texts. (CA)
